CES 2019: Samsung adds rival Apple's iTunes to smart TVs

Samsung has said that from spring 2019 its new smart TVs will include iTunes - software made by rival tech firm Apple. The move was "a true first", senior Samsung executive Dave Das told the CES tech show in Las Vegas. Besides access to iTunes, the smart TVs will also feature AirPlay 2 support - allowing users to stream videos, photos and music from Apple devices. Samsung's previous generation of smart TVs will also gain the features via a firmware update. The BBC has contacted Apple to ask whether the iPhone-maker is paying Samsung to add iTunes.
